MINI Dragster – The World’s Fastest MINI

This is the world’s fastest MINI Cooper, a machine built by MINI USA and Fireball Tim Drag Racing. It isn’t just a wild claim though, it actually holds the actual official title for “World’s fastest MINI”. It’s body is made out of 100% carbon fibre, equipped with a John Cooper Works bodykit. The engine is twin-charged, resulting in a good 500 horsepower which is alot for the 772kg car. More photos after the jump.

Damn….why everything seems to be so cheap and accessible on the other side of the world? The technology and the tools are just a garage away. Unlike here in Malaysia….most thing come from chop shop and mix and match. Haizz….

MINI USA and fireball must be gutted that with all thier money thrown at this car its still not as fast on the quarter as british built original mini’s currently running sub 10 seconds built by the drivers in garages across the UK
